These free face-to-face training events are for Pearson Edexcel GCSE Design and Technology teachers and are designed to help centres ensure they meet the required standards.

During the session, we will:

  • review exemplar work
  • discuss how to interpret the assessment criteria
  • answer questions about the moderation process.

This course is ideal for new centres, centres that have faced regression in the past, or those seeking to build confidence in using the mark grids.

Registration will close 1–2 weeks before the event date. Please check the individual event for specific details.

If you can’t attend any of our face-to-face events, we also offer live online training, which you can book here.

Please note: These events count as 3 hours of CPD. You will receive a certificate via email after the event.
